Chapter 19: Ye Chen’s First Meeting with Jiang Che
“What do you plan to do after coming down the mountain?” Shen Qingqiu asked without looking up, her tone still cold and distant.
“I don’t really know. I just want to slowly investigate the truth behind the extermination of my family, the Ye family…” Ye Chen replied with a bitter smile.
After being disconnected from the world for seven years, he felt uncertain about his future.
“Why don’t you join our corporation as the head of security?” Shen Qingqiu suggested after a pause. “You’ll have food and accommodation, and I’ll give you a salary of twenty thousand a month.”
Shen Qingqiu’s offer to make Ye Chen the head of security was a considered decision. Knowing he lacked formal education and technical skills, she believed this was a role he could handle.
Besides, a salary of twenty thousand was much higher than the market rate for such a position.
Ye Chen hesitated, wanting to refuse but lacking a good reason. He knew his lack of formal education made it difficult to find a job in Linjiang City.
“So, are you unwilling?” Shen Qingqiu asked, her eyebrows knitting together as she looked at Ye Chen with a cold gaze.
“I am willing, of course,” Ye Chen quickly replied, choosing to ignore Shen Qingqiu’s icy demeanor.
“Good. Manager Liu, please help him with the onboarding process,” Shen Qingqiu instructed.

Following Manager Liu, Ye Chen reluctantly returned to the entrance of the Shen Corporation…
…
“From today onwards, he will be your captain,” Manager Liu introduced Ye Chen to the group of security guards, then left to attend to her other duties.
Ye Chen looked at the guards coldly, still harboring resentment from their earlier confrontation.
One of the guards, who had been beaten by Ye Chen and still bore the bruises on his face, approached him with a fawning smile. “Captain, I apologize for earlier. Let’s not hold grudges over the past misunderstanding.”
Ye Chen glanced at him and replied dismissively, “Forget it, I can’t be bothered with you.” He then sat down and began to casually observe and comment on the girls passing by on the street. “Not bad… Wow, look at those legs…”
…
“Master, we’ve arrived,” Ah Long announced, waking up Jiang Che, who had been napping in the back seat of the Maybach. He handed Jiang Che the roses he had purchased.
“Mm,” Jiang Che slowly opened his eyes, took the roses from Ah Long, and then got out of the car, with Ah Long following closely behind.
“Ding, protagonist’s aura detected, gathering information. Information collection complete. Would the host like to view it?”
Just as Jiang Che approached the entrance of Shen Corporation, he heard the system’s notification and paused. “The protagonist? You mean Ye Chen?” Jiang Che inquired.
“Yes, host. Ye Chen is currently near you,” the system confirmed.
“View,” Jiang Che commanded mentally and began to scan his surroundings, searching for Ye Chen.

“Ding, protagonist information detected, system issuing a task.”
“Eliminate the Son of Luck – Ye Chen. Time limit: None. Reward: Unknown.”
Listening to the system’s lengthy notifications, Jiang Che was taken aback. “System, what is this destiny thing?”
“Destiny is exclusive to the protagonist. The higher the destiny points, the better the luck. To some extent, it is protected by the Heavenly Dao, turning misfortune into fortune.”
Jiang Che nodded thoughtfully, understanding why protagonists always seemed to emerge unscathed from dangers, protected by this elusive concept of destiny.
“Every time you interfere with Ye Chen’s opportunities, it weakens his destiny points. The system will reward the host with villain points for each interference.”
“Can it really be played like that?” Jiang Che’s eyes lit up, looking excitedly at Ye Chen, who was sitting nearby with a lecherous look.
Jiang Che had been wondering how to surpass Ye Chen in cultivation in a short time, but now it seemed he no longer needed to worry about that.
By continuously intercepting Ye Chen’s opportunities and creating troubles for him, Ye Chen would naturally not be able to level up as quickly.
Ye Chen, feeling Jiang Che’s gaze, leisurely turned his head towards him.
